A simple-looking countryman scratches his head as he stands between a solicitor and a barrister in front of Westminster Hall; the solicitor, on the left, taps his nose and grins towards the viewer. The barrister with a watch and chain with fobs hanging from his vest holds four documents tied with string in his left hand. Two barristers are seen entering Westminster Hall in the distance (left). In the center of the design, lower edge, the title is represented by musical notations for sharps and flats -- a flat between two sharps
